Professor of Painting + Drawing and Dvision of Art Chair, Helen O'Toole, has a solo exhibition at the J. Rinehart Gallery.
O’Toole’s exhibition, Rupture, brings together a group of colossal paintings which probe the covert mess of darkness and trauma, implicating the inner lives of her Irish ancestors and their sense of place.
Rupture will be on view online and in the Gallery, February 1 – 26, 2025. A Public Opening Reception will be held First Thursday, February 6, 2024, from 5-8pm and an artist talk on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 1:00pm.
Rupture memorializes the past, paying tribute O’Toole’s ancestors who worked the land or were displaced. Acknowledging the past and the collective implications of our darker histories, Helen O’Toole leans into potent tropes of historical landscape painting to depict these collective memories.
